Sad day

Last night there was a house fire about 3 miles from where we live, when I heard the name of the road I got worried because we know someone that lives on that street (she had told us the number of the house but we could never find it). Well it turned out to be her house that burned (thanks to a neighbor for telling me that it was her house) And the sad thing was not only did she lose everything in the house....but she lost her live in boyfriend in the fire as well. She got out of the house by jumping out a window.

The kicker was there were smoke detectors in the house but there were no batteries in them. The furnace was not working so they had space heaters every where, that could have started the fire.

The thing we don't understand was she was making lots of money at the law firm she works for, so there was no reason for the furance and the smoke detectors not to be working.
